Finally Friday

The waiting is over. L is officially out of Africans-R-Us and she got her last paycheck without any of the usual grousing or whining by them to hold on to it till Monday. They even through here a party and gave her a nice parting gift (purse).

I must admit that i am pleasantly surprised at the outcome of this episode. I really thought that we were gonna have to go to war with them to get her last check and to have them be decent human beings about her leaving their company.

Naturally, she is upset by the whole episode. She feels, to some degree, that she is betraying friends and acquaintances. I keep telling her to remind herself of the bullshit and heartache they caused her over the years and how she was so stressed as to whether the door would be pad-locked or the checks would bounce.

The funny thing is that they have actually asked her if she would be interested in helping them out during a busy period right now, by providing some word processing support. I am thinking contract position, hourly as needed, 4 hour minimum, at the rate she was making at least, and able to work from home in the evenings. Christmas club account might get a whole lot larger.

So now that the drama of today is over, we can focus on the weekend. We are going to the Rascal Flats concert tonight and then who knows what the rest of the weekend will bring. Lots of sex I hope.
